Dragon Hidden in the Sky

Chapter 1664 An Encounter

Seeing the endless army of skeletons closing in again, Ye Qing didn't dare to think any further. He roared and said, "Go!"

In the next instant, the two of them retracted and stepped directly into this distorted space.

Ye Qing felt as if he were in a teleportation array. After taking just one step, he found himself in an unfamiliar room.

The room looked dilapidated, and the space around it was somewhat distorted, as if this distorted space isolated the outside world from this place!

"Yin!"

As soon as they entered, the big yellow dog exclaimed in alarm.

"Ok?"

Ye Qing's expression shifted, and he quickly looked ahead. He saw a man he didn't recognize standing in the room. The man's face was extremely handsome, even so perfect that he seemed inhuman!

At the same time, Ye Qing felt that the two parchments inside his Great Evolution Tower began to shake violently, as if they had seen something that excited them!

"Oh no!" At that moment, the person in front suddenly let out a scream.

Immediately afterward, to Ye Qing's astonishment, he saw a piece of human skin rapidly peel off the face of the person in front of him. Then, it screamed and instantly rushed into the person's arms!

As the human skin disappeared, Cao Luo's face appeared before Ye Qing's eyes!

"This!" Ye Qing exclaimed in surprise, "That's a human skin? And... a talking face?"

Cao Luo paused for a moment and said, "Yes, I got this on the Holy Mountain. After I came to the temple, I took it with me to hide my identity!"

At this point, he smiled at Ye Qing and said, "Long time no see, Ye Qing!"

Ye Qing also sighed. The last time they met was in the Boundless World. Ye Qing thought Cao Luo was still trapped in the Boundless World. After all, the current Rockfall Period had not yet started. They would have to wait until the next Rockfall Period started before they could come out!

Ye Qing was surprised that they came out so quickly!

"You've come out of the Ten Directions World?" Ye Qing asked curiously, "When did you come out?"

"Actually, it wasn't long!" Cao Luo said, "I couldn't stay still. I figured that with your cultivation speed, you would fall far behind in fifty or sixty years, so my senior sister and I took the risk of coming out!"

"You've all broken through to the Venerable Realm?" Ye Qing asked. "Chen Sixue too?"

Cao Luo nodded, then looked at Ye Qing and said, "Yes, Ye Qing, actually, Senior Sister is a good person. It's just that she's from a Level 9 civilization, and her education and orders were all the same. She had no choice. I hope..."

Ye Qing shook his head and said, "This has nothing to do with me. As long as she doesn't lay a hand on me, I naturally won't do anything to her. But if she tries to lay a hand on me, I've already given you face once. If she does it again, I naturally won't hold back!"

"Stop talking, you guys! Can't you see someone over there is about to die?!" Just then, the big yellow dog said speechlessly.

Ye Qing then turned his head and saw a person lying flat on the ground not far away. However, the person's breath looked extremely weak, as if he had reached the end of his strength!

His entire body was covered in dark blue marks, as if he had been poisoned, and he also had a strange aura about him!

"This is the aura of an undead, is he Gu Linyu?" Ye Qing quickly moved closer and said, "Gu Linyu!"

He looked closely and, sure enough, confirmed it, saying, "What's going on?"

Cao Luo came to Gu Linyu's side and looked at the ground, saying, "After entering the temple, I used the spatial properties to try to find some opportunities. By chance, I came to this place. Seeing the corpses all over the ground, I thought I might be able to find some ancient books and artifacts! But after entering the city, I couldn't get out!"

"It was peaceful here at first, but when I arrived, the skeletons seemed to sense the presence of living beings and gradually began to wake up, then chased after me all the way!" Cao Luo said with a wry smile, "I traveled all the way and finally hid here, using spatial properties to distort the surroundings, creating an independent space, which allowed me to escape this calamity, but I have been trapped here for more than two years!"

"About a month ago, the skeletons here seemed to fall into chaos, with two sides of skeletons fighting!" Cao Luo said. "At the same time, I sensed a terrifying aura. I risked going out to check and found that the skeletons were actually fighting each other. At the same time, a strong light emanated from a ruin. When I went to investigate, it seemed that he had obtained the item!"

“But he was in very poor condition and was seriously injured. He escaped from there. When I found him, he was unconscious. I brought him here. I don’t know what’s wrong with him, I don’t know how to treat him, and I haven’t found a way to leave. I can only hide here with him, thinking that when the time comes, the temple will automatically push us out!” Cao Luo said.

"Has he always been like this?" Ye Qing asked.

“No, that’s not it!” Cao Luo shook his head and said, “He occasionally comes to his senses, but he’s all incoherent! He keeps shouting something about the Twilight Hermits, or something about Fornavos!”

"What did you say?" The big yellow dog suddenly grabbed Cao Luo's clothes and said, "What did he shout when he regained consciousness?"

“The Twilight Hermits, Fornavos!” Cao Luo said, “What’s wrong?”

Ye Qing's expression shifted slightly.

The Twilight Hermits Society, as mentioned by Big Yellow Dog, is an organization created by Zu Long, and he himself is now considered a member of this organization.

Ye Qing looked at the big yellow dog and asked, "So, is this one of our own?"

"Of course they're on our side!" The big yellow dog licked its lips and said, "Do you know what those four words mean?"
